    Geography (thanks to the Carmen Sandiego franchise and my parents who refused to buy me a Nintendo as a kid)
    Harry Potter
    Various sports of my alma mater
    Random useless crap that gets my trivia team points every Monday in pursuit of free beer
    Queen (the band, not the person)

    I've meant to try out for Jeopardy but if a category ever came up that was something along the art history/religion/Shakespeare outside of Romeo and Juliet line, I'd be sunk.

    If I was a journalist looking for a source, what would I be considered an expert in?

    Just a different way to think about the question.

    I'm an expert at looking like I know what I'm doing in most adult situations, when in truth I'm pretty much winging it like everyone else. Also Sega Hockey '93. I will crush anyone, doesn't matter what team you saddle me with.

    Also, 1980s in NFL, MLB and NBA, mostly from repeatedly reading the Zander Hollander complete handbooks, the Sporting News NBA Registers, the Red and Green books, and god knows how many issues of SI, Baseball Digest, Sport, Inside Sports, Pro, etc.

    Man I spent a lot of time reading sports stuff in the 1980s. It was glorious.

    I’m pretty good at building a fire in an antique wood cook stove that sends most of the smoke up the stovepipe.
